As with all fire escapes it’s essential that the design and build includes a number of features for individuals and groups to evacuate a building during an emergency such as the break out of a fire. Firstly they need to be constructed with a fire-resistant and durable material such as steel so that it can withstand the extreme temperatures and the stress on the material that the fire’s impact will have. It also needs to be accessible from different parts of the building such as reception areas, corridors and every floor to aid ease of escape. The design of the fire escape external stairs needs to comply with safety standards such as requirements for handrails, tread depth, height, width and landing areas for the evacuation of people within the building.

There are many benefits to having an external fire escape staircase professionally designed and installed for your building by a dedicated manufacturer such as SSF. This includes protecting the lives of those within the building and reducing the risk of injury in the event of a fire, ensuring that the building is equipped with adequate means of escape if a fire were to happen, not just protecting occupants but the property itself. It also demonstrates your dedication and commitment to safety whilst providing the utmost peace of mind for all.
